Monday morning, I woke up to Our Government’s version of a wuphf.

If you don’t get the reference, check out this great video clip below from The Office:

Yes sir, I was greeted at 12:01 AM by both an email and an SMS  from “Do Not Reply” indicating that our big packet-o-immigration papers for Uncle Sam was received and is now comfortably sitting in the National Benefits Center Lockbox. I have no idea what “the lockbox” is, but I do know that it is a magical place that assesses us as appropriate parents and our future child as a good future citizen– and all of this in 90 days or less! (Let’s hope for less!) And just in case I didn’t get my text or email, we’ll get a paper copy of the exactly same thing in 7-10 business days. Hopefully, along with the receipt or a few days after, we’ll get an “invitation” for a biometrics appointment at our local USCIS Office to be fingerprinted a second time for the FBI. You can’t say they aren’t thorough.

In the meantime, I’ll let you all know if I get a Facebook friend request from “Do Not Reply.”
